"The death penalty in Japan is noted for the extreme secrecy and (to outsiders) the apparent arbitrariness with which it is administered."
- POV of AI is presented as a fact. This is not NPOV. I would transltate content from Japanese wikipedia which explain the procedure in more detail. Vapour
"Some commentators argue". Using of weasel words are discouraged. It is more NPOV to explicitly state the source of POV. Vapour
"Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and the United States are the only developed democracies in which the death penalty is legally carried out" - South Korea has a moratorium since 1998. They still have people sentenced to death, but it is not carried out.
"Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and the United States are the only developed democracies..." - Taiwan with a history of 3 competitive elections, and Singapore with the domination of a single party, can hardly be labeled "developed" democracies. Whoever decided upon THESE countries should have justified their decision on better grounds (economic development or democractic government would be easy to determine factually, however being a "developed democracy" is something up for argument and thus should not be used). See cases: Russia, India. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.250.46.184 (talk) 04:28, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- "Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and the United States are the only developed democracies in which the death penalty is legally carried out". What about Israel? It´s a developed democracy and has abolished the death penalty for all criminal offenses, excepting genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people, and treason in wartime. Israel has legally carried out one execution on 1962 (Adolf Eichmann´s). - Follgramm3006, Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 20:36. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Follgramm3006 (talk • contribs) 18:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think it's safe to say that Israel has effectively abolished the death penalty. The execution of Eichmann was a singular event. 74.251.26.57 (talk) 05:27, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
List of those executed?
This could be an idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.31.213.187 (talk) 10:45, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
There is now a list of executed people, but the list isn't cited. I couldn't find find any source for it, especially the asterisks that note murderers who were on parole for another murder. Where does this information come from? Hellestal (talk) 00:37, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
Not to mention there are now three unnamed inmates.. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17545494 91.156.246.89 (talk) 02:59, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Looking over the list of executions since 1993, it seems that the last entry, containing 4 names, is a case of vandalism or trolling. Googling the names shows that all 4 are characters in an Anime called "Boys Over Flowers". Maybe someone more well versed in this subject, and the world of wikipedia in general could take a look at this... 130.226.70.78 (talk) 23:57, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Status of capital punishment under Justice Minister Chiba
The intro now includes updated information about the status of capital punishment in Japan — but I think it's inaccurate. My understanding is that capital punishment is still legal and people can still be sentenced to death, just as before, but it's abolished in practice, at least as long as Keiko Chiba is the justice minister. Here are my sources:

- The opening sentence was simply blatantly wrong. I have fixed it and given a source. Cheers! Scapler (talk) 23:26, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Human Rights Abuses category...?
I understand this is a touchy subject, so I'm not going to imply that I am for or against capital punishment. I do think the category "Human Rights Abuses," should be removed, however. It's status as being a human rights abuse is, well, true to some, unfounded to others. I'm removing it now because of it's controversial status. 67.77.70.139 (talk) 01:06, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- I agree, this category is too contentious and easily argued against. Cheers! Scapler (talk) 02:09, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Wrong Photo
The photo of an electric chair is inappropriate. Japan has never used the electric chair, it uses hanging. I have no suitable substitute to offer. 98.210.255.162 (talk) 15:21, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

The last four individuals on the list "Executions since 1993" are anime characters and thus not real people. 67.133.103.2 (talk) 20:31, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
